According to one online report tonight, Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz is transferring to Kentucky and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
The report came from Brett Greenberg, who identifies as a digital producer for WKRG in Mobile, Alabama.
This is what he said:
BREAKING: Former Wisconsin QB Graham Mertz is expected to transfer to @UKFootball, per a source.
Mertz, who announced his decision to transfer from the Badgers program 3 days ago, has two years of eligibility remaining — threw for 2,136 yards with 19 TDs & 10 INTs last season.

Matt Jones of KSR posted late tonight that he cannot confirm the report. He did note that Kentucky had heavy interest in Mertz:
I can’t independently confirm the Graham Mertz news. I know UK was seriously interested in him but I haven’t heard it is done
We shall see

I’m going to say that this transfer could potentially happen, but I’ll need confirmation from someone other than Brett Greenberg on Twitter.
Just in case, here are some highlights from Mertz at Wisconsin:
